Already wrote about wk92 but i have to add:

STOP MAKING ME ATTEND COURSES SO I AM EVEN ALLOWED TO TAKE EXAMS.

Like what the hell. You know when it comes to networking i'm doing okayish, coding straight A and then there is maths, let's not talk about it. BUT FFS I WAS NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE 2 OF MY CODING EXAMS THIS SEMESTER CUS I DIDN'T VISIT 2-3 EVENTS OF IT.

I am a coder. I aspire being a coder. I study software development. I just need to prove myself and some dudes can do it. Let me do my thing.
Btw, there weren't any mandatory events for maths. Of course. Why should there be. Yeah okay

School isn't there to teach knowledge anymore.
It's there to teach people to follow instructions.

You're a pentagon? Irrelevant.
It'll hammer you into a square hole, or fail you. Your "choice."

@Root Sad reality. Germans call people that have fully fallen for that system "Fachidioten". Specialized idiots.

That sucks. I just submitted the paperwork so I don't have to attend "RSO" (roughly translates to Computer Systems and Networks) and can just take the exams.
But it's sad that this is even something we're considering. Classes should be good enough that we would want to go.

@ribchinski I have a high school diploma. The only reason I didn't skip half of highschool and get a GED was because it would be difficult getting hired with one. 😞😧

I attended college but dropped out because it was an expensive, pointless, and infuriating waste of my time. I spent thousands of dollars to learn next to nothing, and had to put up with totally incompetent teachers for 80% or more of my classes.

I dropped out, got a job doing somewhat what I wanted, and taught myself the rest. The only thing that was lacking was calculus. I've been teaching myself that, but it's slow going since I have almost no time to myself anymore. ☹ (and it's difficult teaching yourself math concepts you don't know yet. lol)

@ribchinski getting hired is a thing of 20% luck, 50% knowing people and 30% about skill.
I got to work fulltime doing somewhat what i wanted directly after school.. and now i'm studying out of pure interest and because the money you can earn is more, if you sell yourself right.^^
But of course, one of the first things you get sorted out on is your degree.

@ribchinski the highest math offered in high school for me was "Trig/Pre-calc" -- it didn't cover any calc. and I knew all of the material before taking the class. ☹

@ribchinski I'm a little biased because I find Calc very interesting, and statistics boring as hell.

Deriving e.g. the area formulas for geometric shapes for the first time was very enlightening.
